I was trying to abstain from the trailer. I was watching a live episode of Saturday night live when it cut to commercial- the project Hail Mary trailer. They showed Rocky in the first 5 seconds! I was pissed off. I had to quiet my rage at 11:30 pm while my wife and kid were sleeping. I hate movie trailers

Rocky isn't even the biggest twist, tho.

Which is why they put him in the trailers. They wanted a cute character beside the Hollywood guy.

I assume you mean Ryan Gosling is the cute character beside the Hollywood guy, Rocky.
